Short Sword Strengths and Weaknesses

Advantages: Can Make Full Use of Shields

Short Swords allow you to make the most out of the shields that you may possess, since other weapons do not allow you to equip a shield at all, let alone make use of the shields capabilities

Disadvantages: Low Attack Power

While you are able to properly defend, the Attack Power of Short Swords are reather low compared to other weapons. We recommend choosing another weapon if you prefer to stay on the offensive.
